I would like to use the Orbi in AP mode however r it shows that I need to use an Cable to connect my Cable modem to the Orbi . this is very impractical because No i would have to run cabling ...
If you want to wire the Orbi satellite to the Orbi router you can user Powerline Ethernet to connect them.
Not available From Netgeer oh no ....
Netgear indeed makes PowerLine adapters:

I have PowerLine installed (not Netgear). When on the same electrical circuit and over a reasonably short distance, the performance is amazing. On different electrical circuits (in the same breaker box) and a longer distance, PowerLine can be less impressive.

I have also used a mixture of Netgear and third party Power line devices. They work together just fine.
I use Powerline to connect an MS90 satellite to an MR 90 router. Works well.
Powerline is effectively an industry standard. This means that you can buy single plugs from other brands and add them to Netgear plugs.
This is useful because Netgear sells only two (or more) plug sets. Some brands are happy to sell singletons. So you can buy a two-port plug, or a wifi access point plug, and add them to your network.
